The clandestine Army generals known as the Jugglers are moving forward with a nuclear attack to eliminate the alien threat, and anything else on the island with them -- including G.I.joe. What they don't know is that such an attack with high concentrations of energon may not only destroy the island, but half of the planet in the process!"

FIRST LOOK: CLOUDFALL

Cloudfall will arrive in stores on Wednesday from Image Comics. The issue is written by Robert Kirkman, with art by E.J. Su.

Here's how Image describes the issue:

"Allison Andrews has a husband that doesn't pay attention to her, a dog with intestinal problems, and a job that she really loves. She's a detective, and a damn good one at that, some would argue the best... at least for a woman. Her partner is a hell of a guy, if a bit too patronizing. Her boss is actually a nice guy... and he's yet to come on to her. The bills are paid, she's got three weeks of paid vacation, and her car is more reliable than her husband. Everything seems fine in her life, not perfect, but fine. But all that is about to change.

"The Governor is dead. Allison and her partner Darrel are on the case. Other than the fact that this is such a high profile victim, everything seems to be going by the book, until strange things start to happen. Allison finds herself wrapped up in a conspiracy of epic proportions. Friends become enemies, and enemies become allies as Allison's world is turned upside down. Will Allison survive this ordeal? And what in the hell is 'Cloudfall?' Not for the faint of heart."
